Having some trouble logging in.
So I am running Ubuntu 16.04 - 64-bit (Standard) on a VPS, and I am trying to setup a bot to send trade offers, But when i try an login to the bot on PuTTy. I get errors.
[nexusbot001 2017-03-07 19:16:03] ERROR: Login Error: InvalidPassword
But the password is correct because i have directly copied the password and username from the config, and they work. I have tried setting up the desktop auth. But when i send the command
exec BOTNAME linkauth
It returns
[BOTNAME 2017-03-07 19:15:00] ERROR: Error performing mobile login: TooManyFailedLogins
I am most likely doing something wrong. Thanks
You get InvalidPassword also for logging in too many times with invalid auth code. You might be running some failing login loop possibly.
So what is my solution? I have read the installation, and configuration wiki several times, and I can't seem to find anything about setting up auth on linux with desktop authenticator
I am having the same issue, the bot will attempt to login too many times before I can set up the authenticator locking me out for 30 minutes each time
Okay so I found a fix for this, you have to remove the desktop authenticator you have set up on the steam profile and then re-launch the bot and then go through the exec BOTNAME linkauth also if you already have a phone number set up on the bot remove it or the sms code won't work unless you ad it through the steambot program.
@Savag3life did @TheFaceHugger 's response solved this issue for you? Otherwise you could try to be faster than the login attempts of the bot with the linking of the authenticator. You could possible add a sleep there for example. If this issue is solved a close would be appreciated.
